The race is expected to be one of the costliest legislative races, with some media outlets estimating that the race will be very expensive.[22] Migden came into the race with several million dollars in the bank from past races, but it the ability of the campaign to use that money is now in question. A complaint to the Fair Political Practices Commission, California's version of the Federal Elections Commission alleges that Migden improperly moved much of her money around and didn't accurately report her money situation. Richie Ross, Migden's campaign consultant, called the issues in the complaint legitimate, saying, "There's no excuse, and she will have to take her legitimate lumps. I know it, and she knows it."[23] The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an agency created to administer and enforce the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1975 (FECA), the statute that regulates the financing of federal elections in the United States. ...
